Event Details

Over two class sessions we will cover installing and removing tubes and tires (i.e. fixing a flat), installing brake and shift cables, adjusting brakes and gears, and chain maintenance.

The class takes place on Friday, April 7th from 6:00PM to 8:00PM, and Sunday April 9th, from 10:00AM to 2:00PM. Food is not provided for our classes, but you are welcome to bring snacks. We will stop for a 30 minute lunch break during the Sunday class session.

No previous bike knowledge is required or expected, but a willingness to learn and have fun is a must!

Class will be hands-on, so bring a bike and get ready to get greasy.

The fee for this class is a sliding scale: $55-95 for Bike Kitchen members or $105-145 for non-members. Enrolling in the class as a non-member also buys you a year-long membership at the Bike Kitchen. Class size is limited to ten. If you do not currently have a membership you MUST select a ticket price that has "Non-Member" in the description.

Refund Policy:we offer refunds up to 96 hours before the start of the class. Cancellation after that point involves forfeiting the class payment. If you are unable to attend a paid class, your new membership is still valid and you are welcome to visit us during regular shop hours and speak to our staff mechanics.

Mission Statement: The Bike Kitchen teaches people of all ages and backgrounds how to repair bicycles. Through bike repair and bicycle related projects, the Bike Kitchen promotes personal development and provides leadership opportunities. Operating as a cooperative shop, we provide affordable ways to acquire and maintain a bike, offer youth programs, encourage re-use and recycling, and work with community groups to get more people on bicycles.

The Bike Kitchen is a 501(c)(3) non-profit run by volunteers. We provide all the tools and parts you need to fix or build a bicycle. Our staff of volunteer mechanics is available to give advice and answer questions.
